BINGO (VA #3)
▪
▪
▪
Have pupils draw a 3x3 grid in their notebooks (creating 9 squares) and write any review word
they choose in the squares.
Play BINGO by saying a word and have pupils mark if they have that word on their BINGO grid.
Record the words you say on the board.
Continue saying words until a pupil gets three in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and
calls: BINGO! Check the winning words against the list on the board.

Word Search (VA #20)
▪

For each word, have pupils work with a partner or small group to scan the story on pages 50-55 in
their Course Books for the word. Have pupils write down where they found each word (page and
panel number). Tell pupils that they can use the pictures in the story as clues to help them.
More than one instance of some words is possible. Some words may appear in plural form.
Pre-Reading
•
Show the story The Family Trip. Before reading, have pupils look at the story and make predictions
about what will happen based on the pictures and title.
•
Discuss what a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" story is. Show pupils that there are two endings to the
story, and that they will be able to choose which one they will read.

Page 51, panel 4: Where do you think the family should go? Have pupils vote for their
preference.
Based on the story ending pupils prefer, divide the class into two groups. Have one group read about
the trip to the mountains (pages 52/53). Have the other group read about the trip to the beach
(pages 54/55). When pupils are finished, bring the pupils back together and have each group explain
what happened in the story to the other group. Ask questions to prompt them:
